They've dodged it for years...................... even before we went out of the League.

:lol:

Myself and two others went up to Scotland today to watch Dumbarton v Morton. The Sons took the lead in first half injury time, Morton had a man red carded early in the second half and Dumbarton went on to run out comfortable 3-0 winners in the shadow of Dumbarton Rock on a glorious sunny day.

Down into the social club and nearly disaster. The Scottish version of goalrush only covers the English Prem, and we need to know the fate of the Cumbrians. Cue a text message from Saltney Blue that they are relegated and the celebrations can begin.

After a few more drinks in the east end of Dumbarton (me on Cokes) we hit the road again, through Glasgow and back down the M74, jeering at every Eddie Stobart lorry en route as we overtake it, get my drift? :clap:

Now you know how when there is a car crash on the opposite carriageway, you know you shouldn't, you know it's not nice, but you just can't help slowing down and having a look?? MWAHAAHAAHAAHAHAHA! Heading south across the border we realised we had a heaven sent opportunity to p**s on Carlisle's grave. :wolf:

So a quick swerve across three lanes of the M6 (OK, I made that bit up) and we head into the centre of Carlisle to find ourselves a nice pub full of Cumbrians wallowing in self pity. We ended up in the Cumberland Inn near the railway station.

Sure enough, there were a fair few of them in there, drinking themselves silly and singing to keep their spirits up. Songs like:

"On Loan, to the Conference" :lol:
"We're going up as f***ng champions" :laugh1:
"Premier League sh*t" (to some poor bloke in a Sunderland top who was caught in the middle of it all) :laugh1:

I did feel genuinely did feel sorry for a girl we saw coming out of the city centre who had obviously been in tears. It brough back memories of the aftermath of our own game with the Posh and made me feel a bit guilty about what we were doing.

But anyway, a gorgeous sunny day, a Dumbarton win, Carlisle relegated at last and a geographical and chronological confluence that allowed us to witness the fallout. You dont get many days better.

Got to go to Glasgow tue..Carvile services it is then with my blue and white decked van-What a season. :scarf:

Anti Carlisle rant

I'm sure the Carlisle fans would enjoy reading this!

:clap:

Sorry here's the correct link

Anti Carlisle rant

Well said Krankie :thumb:

We've been through it all and the Dumbrians laughed in our faces. I particularly recollect them invading our pitch after they scored a 1-0 win and Brownie being caught up in the thick of it, and also knowing of a fair few of them in the South Terrace for that visit of Peterborough, rather than bothering to go down to their game that day.

For the one or two of you who I noticed feeling sorry for them yesterday, could I just ask why?

Listening to Five Live yesterday evening, there was an interview with the Chairman, and the presenter happened to mention the fact that it is not all doom and gloom these days ("Look at Doncaster, going up through the play-offs last year and now winning Division Three, and look at Chester this year"). However, let's hope it's going to be down hill from here where C*rl*sl* are concerned.

Let's all laugh at C*rl*sl* and here's to a long, long dreadul experience in non-league football (for them, not meaning to offend non-league footy in general of course) :laugh1:

As for York City, my heart goes out to them to be honest. Their plight over the last few years has been very similar to ours, with so much financial difficulty and corrupt ownership. I would have fancied going to York next season, too, a wonderful, historical Roman city like our's and a nice little ground at Bootham Crescent too.

Here's to a swift return to League football for the Minstermen :thumb:

C*rl*sl*'s staying down! :laugh1:

Whoever it was, the only mistake they made in that was wishing the Dumbrians good luck

:laugh1: C*rl*sl* :laugh1:


:ccfc:

Feels like the revenge has gone full circle now.

4 years ago we went out and Shrewsbury and Carlisle survived despite our "Great Escape" performances at the end of the season.

Now we're back in with Carlisle and Shrewsbury out. Does it get better? :beer:

not very happy with that post are they :lol:
quality lets have more :thumb:

If you're going to bear grudges, I suppose you could include Exeter among that lot - it was their pathetic performance against the Shrews that condemned yourselves to Conference football, after all. What goes around comes and around and all that...

The responses on that thread sort of sum up the level of intellect of Carlisle fans' don't they?

Chester are Scouse? Methinks they need to brush up on their geography.

As for you returning to the Conference and them passing you lot on their way up, that's just wishful thinking...

fantastic bit of writing :lol:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cumbria/sport/clubs/c...ery/index.shtml


Now they know how we felt when we went down.

ive kinda robbed this from another post but all the same, get in!!!!

That Goal

Barrow and Tranmere fans have thrown their teddies out of the pram about SV there I notice.

lol! what a post, that man/woman deserves a drink for that!!! well done!!!! :thumb:

and as for the trashmere fan, you pathetic carlisle bumping imbred! f*** off to carlisle and watch them play next season if you love them so much, just because his team are sh*te!!!

It'a an amazing coincidence but after reading those replies I do believe that the IQ of the average Carlisle fan is exactly equal to the number of points they won this season!

:laugh1: :laugh1: :laugh1:

Here's another one.

Who's Eddie by the way?

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/4010...lislefan203.jpg

already seen it quite a few times on sky :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
i wonder if them 6000 carlisle fans will turn up to watch the final game on the big screen against donny? doubt it :lol:

Eddie Stobart

One of the UKs largest road haulage firms and sponsors of CUFC

good post :clap:

Bye Bye Cumbrian losers!! :clap:

:scarf:

:punk: That place so much reminds me of something out of the Twilight zone....mention an Eddie Stobart Lorry up there and it's like fire has just been invented.

Yes well done in buying yourselves out of the Conference, only took you 4 years....

As the only former top flight side to be relegated into the non-league abyss, the quality of our side and our fanbase size should ensure a swift return. Be afraid......

Wow even Trashmere scum getting their pennies worth in - or is it some old ladys' they have just robbed :lol: :lol: :lol:

why should we be afraid when we're in win div 3 and their rotting in the conference

I'm rather amused to see a Tranmere fan having a go at us for not having always had the attendances we got at the end of last season - this coming from a club that used to struggle to get 2,000 regularly before the successful times arrived and whose followings always seem to increase dramatically when they have some cup success (like this season).

Getting a bit nasty on there innit, with a four letter word beginning with c and ending in t being used a hell of a lot. Also, if by any chance you do wish to offer them sympathy then be prepared for replies like this one:

To fans of other teams... ...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
no disrespect, but only a handful of you occasionally come on this board (this msg aint to them), but can you not just p*ss off?

your only on because we've finally gone down, and all the good luck / f*ck off messages won't change an iota...

That post on Footy Mad was me!!!

Unfortunately, it has now been deleted. I wonder why?????

I'm pleased it got so many nasty replies. I would have been gutted to have gone to all that trouble and not got under their skin.

I was going to copy it into word as a souveneir but forgot. Shame really, I could have reposted it this morning. Never mind.

Let's hope they're having a horrible Bank Holiday.
Mine is much better than last year!!!!!!!

Indeed it is - the memories are coming back but I'm just so relieved we went up automatically and aren't having to go through that emotional rollercoaster again.

:lol:

I meant quality by Conference standards, if not by Div.3.

The Conference is a considerable weaker league than the 3rd as Shrewsbury and Exeter have proved.

:beer:

Buying ourselves out after four years ? Aside from Daryl Clare, please name these large scale financial purchases we have made ?

Should you assess the history books, from September 2001 onwards we have achieved promotion through an extremely well co-ordinated, well managed process (driven by Stephan Vaughan).

May you decompose and rot in the Conference: Enjoy your trips to Crawley Town and Gravesend.

I, for one, have absolutely no sympathy for your team. The behaviour of your fans at the Deva in April 2000 still disgusts me. I will watch your attendances slide below 2,000 quite comfortably.

Just like Doncaster?

Crawley? You mean Canvey?

No he is right.Both Canvey Island and Crawley Town will be in the Conference next season. :thumb:

So they will

ooops

This link will take you straight to the best "debate" on the CUFC message board. It's entitled "We're too big for the Conference". :lol: :lol: Who do they think they are? CUFC board - conference thread

Laugh ? I nearly p*ssed me-self!!!

Well deserved- Good Luck to Carlisle in the Conference :lol:

Best laugh since I read last weeks Dandy. :lol:

:mad: Ahh the Pub League mentality,wow are they in for a big shock all 15,000 of em

If you think that then you're dumber than we all thought

Just look at Wycombe, Rushden, Kidderminster, Doncaster, Yeovil, and to a certain extent Cheltenham and Macclesfield over recent seasons. It is a well-known fact that the top half of the Conference is more than a match for Division Three

And even the part-time sides in there can still cause you upsets.

I'm sure the majority of your fans don't think the same way as you do. Otherwise, you're treading on thin ice.

I think you've got a big shock coming. The Conference is now full of ex-league teams. Hereford next year I reckon. Get used to it.......
:scarf:

I'm sure I saw this post before, I can't think where - on surfing seadog perhaps?

HAHAHAHA :mad:
The good lord has some great ways of working, this time he has surpassed himself!!
Us up - that BIG bargain basement team DOWN! Ha, they've got a right surprise comin'!!
I think Canvey will finish higher than them. :clap:

Over the last five or six seasons we have been a Conference club in all but name. The board, fans and players have been bracing themselves for it.

So it's not like we don't know what to expect, unlike the teams like get relegated after one bad season and come down to this level totally shellshocked with a long period of recovery.

Whatever division we would be in next season, we knew we would be chasing promotion after the form we've shown since December when we came out of adminstration, probably play-offs in Div.3, top 2 in the Conference.

The way I see is that relegation will be a big psychological boost after years of losing and being near the bottom (although we haven't been doing much of the former recently!) going down to a league, which whether you care to admit it or not, is weaker - ask Shrews fans what they think, they finished 3rd playing well within themselves - and I'm confident we'll do the same.

Shrews played well? How many points were they behind Chester and Hereford !

GET A GRIP LAD..............

:scarf:

thinking like that will only get you one place....

conference north 2005.

its bang out of order the way your slating "those poxy little grounds". the conference is a decent league in its own right and youll find those little clubs will have a friendly welcome for even carlisle fans.

as for the best away supported team you have a lot of traveling to do.

When was the last time a club went straight back up and what makes you think you can do it?

I sayed they played "well within themselves", i.e they didn't have to get out of second or third gear most of the time and they still finished 3rd.

Carlisle are down 4ever :clap: May as well join the Scottish league, as most of you up there are not sure what you are anyway.

Remember that little dance you did on our pitch when we went down.



Up yours................Enjoy Non league football :laugh1:
